Re: Batigol's interview on Foxsports Latin America November,20th,2011.

Thanks for finding this Brigie.
Here's what he said...

Batistuta on…. Messi...
- “I see a Messi that is intelligent, away from controversies. What I don’t like is how [Argentines] always find him responsible for the national team’s shortcomings”
- “I watched Messi against Colombia and he can’t keep saving us… the situation must change”
- “For Barcelona, Messi smashes it and we want him to do the same for , but there are different players… Messi doesn’t play for Argentina as he does for Barcelona, I think he seems nervous, because if he makes a mistake, everyone turns against him”

Batistuta on… The state of the national team....
- “The play seems too slow, like they play in the domestic league”
- “The national teams win nothing at youth level anymore, and neither do the seniors.”
- “I always felt responsible if the team wasn’t playing well, I felt in debt to the spectator that had paid for his ticket, and maybe it’s because of this that I never really enjoyed what I did”

Batistuta on… Modern players...
- “Players need to realise this is a job”
- “I would love to teach strikers (number 9′s) how to move better”
- “I never asked a manager why I wasn’t playing [if he wasn't picking me]“
